The Only Player Of That Game
Ren Kisaragi was just an ordinary high school student—until he saw the world glitch. A frozen pedestrian, a repeated motion, a moment where time itself stuttered. No one else noticed. No one else questioned it. But for Ren, it was the first crack in reality.
Slowly, he begins to understand: the world is a game, a structured system governed by hidden laws. Yet, unlike the others—players and NPCs alike—Ren is the only one who knows. Armed with this knowledge and a mysterious, tattered book that seems to react to these distortions, he sets out to uncover the truth.
But knowledge alone isn’t enough. Other players exist, moving through the world without realizing the game they’re trapped in. NPCs act according to scripts, yet some seem to break free in ways they shouldn’t. And as Ren digs deeper, he realizes something terrifying:
The system isn’t broken. It’s watching him.
And it doesn’t like rule-breakers.
Now, Ren must navigate a world where reality itself can rewrite the rules. Because if he’s The Only Player of the Game—then he’s playing alone.
And in a game like this, losing isn’t an option.
